The present study was carried out to estimate genetic variability parameters for some traits such as pods per plant, cell membrane stability, one thousand kernel weight, flowering period, grain filling period, chlorophyll content, relative water content, leaf excised water content, seed per pod and pod length, in 16 winter rapeseed genotypes. Statistical analysis showed significant differences ...

With the dramatic growth in the number of application domains that generate probabilistic, noisy and uncertain data, there has been an increasing interest in designing algorithms for geometric or combinatorial optimization problems over such data. In this paper, we initiate the study of constructing ε-kernel coresets for uncertain points. We consider uncertainty in the existential model where e...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the measured dimensions of the normal glenoid on sagittal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to determine whether a fixed ratio of glenoid length and width can be determined. METHODS MR images of 90 glenoids in 84 patients were analyzed. The mean age was 54.8 years, with 44 male and 40 female patients. Glenoid length and width at the widest dimen...

Abstract Background and aims Pb Sn concentration increase rapidly due to the industrial revolution cause a significant reduction in wheat production productivity. Understanding genetic control of tolerance is very important produce cultivars that are tolerant such metals. Methods Extensive analyses using genome-wide association study, functional annotation, gene enrichment were investigated set...

We introduce the Mondrian kernel, a fast random feature approximation to the Laplace kernel. It is suitable for both batch and online learning, and admits a fast kernel-width-selection procedure as the random features can be re-used efficiently for all kernel widths. The features are constructed by sampling trees via a Mondrian process [Roy and Teh, 2009], and we highlight the connection to Mon...

Drying data for individual rice kernels and bulk samples selected from various tillers of a plant and from different maturity groups were experimentally obtained. The data showed that over 93% of the drying occurred within 24 h of exposure to air at 40° C and 60% relative humidity. Differences in the equilibrium moisture content and drying rate constant among kernels were observed. Equilibrium ...
